[QUOTE="RVC1, post: 1610836, member: 33904"] My computer froze this morning while playing a video. I've had some moments recently where an app would crash during a video but not quite like this. The screen was frozen and the audio continued. I forced it to shut down and restarted. It stood on a blue screen for a long time, then a weird screen looking like digital distortion came up (maybe my desktop?) I tried again and had the same thing. Then the desktop finally came one time but was unresponsive. I've since got the computer up and working but I've decided to work on another computer for now. What can this be? I've had issues in the past that tech determined was bad ram which I replaced which seemed to help, but those came with kernal panics, also blue screen, and some beeping. Should I try to analyze the disk? Or just take it in to be checked out (again?) My computer - 27" iMac around 2009, running snow leopard [/QUOTE]
